WKU regents will consider 4 percent tuition hike, operating budget Friday - AARON MUDD, BG Daily

Western Kentucky University students will have to shell out more tuition dollars if the university’s Board of Regents approves a proposed 4 percent increase Friday. A proposed tuition and fees schedule said the rate for resident undergraduate students would increase from $5,101 to $5,301 per semester. The rate for nonresident undergraduate students would rise from $12,756 to $13,248. Regent Frederick Higdon proposed “seriously considering” the 4 percent increase in a board meeting last month. The state capped tuition hikes at 6 percent over the next two years with 4 percent as the maximum in any one year. http://www.bgdailynews.com/news/wku-regents-will-consider-percent-tuition-hike-operating-budget-friday/article_eb7111d6-fd8e-5f17-93fa-e402279e001e.html
